What would life be like without color? Ever since one can think back, color has always accompanied mankind. Dyes - originally obtained exclusively from natural sources - are today also produced synthetically on a large scale and represent one of the very mature and traditional sectors of the chemical industry.The present reference work on Industrial Dyes provides a comprehensive review of the chemistry, properties and applications of the most important groups of industrial dyes, including optical brighteners. It also outlines the latest developments in the area of functional dyes.Renowned experts in their respective fields have contributed to the chapters on chemical chromophores, synthesis and application of the various dye classes, textile dyeing and non-textile dyeing.The book is aimed at all professionals who are involved in the synthesis, production, manufacture or application of dyes and will prove to be an indispensable guide to all chemists, engineers and technicians in dye science and industry.

Revised and updated, this highly acclaimed work, now in its fourth edition, remains the most comprehensive source of information available on organic pigments. It provides up-to-date information on syntheses, structures, physical and chemical properties, test methods, and applications of all industrially produced organic pigments available on the world market. The fourth edition has been completely revised and extended. The chapter on the product safety and the legislation of organic pigments has been rewritten to reflect recent developments. Today it is known that all industrial „azo pigments“ actually adopt the hydrazone-tautomeric form in the solid state. Correspondingly, for the first time all structural formulae now show the correct tautomer and the name „hydrazone pigments“ is used throughout. Since the pigments' properties strongly depend on their crystal structures, for the first time all available information on the crystal structures of all industrial organic pigments has been compiled, including unpublished data from the authors' own work. With its comprehensive survey of organic pigments and their industrial applications, this is the standard reference for everyone working with pigments, plastics, printing inks, paints and coatings.
